Serve at FPLC
Serve at FPLC
Volunteer @ Church
So much goes into making Fox Point Church run smoothly and there are many ways to serve, both on Sunday mornings and throughout the week--whether you have an hour to commit now and then or are interested in something more involved. You can sign up or get more information through the links or the listed contacts.
All of these options can be tailored to the time you have. They are all vital ways to become integral parts of our community, meet new folks and help keep FPLC the growing, loving community that it is.
Sunday Morning
Coffee Hour Hosts
All Ages (children w/adult)
There are two shifts for Coffee Hour Hosts. The first shift cuts up the donuts, brews the coffee, and sets everything out. The second shift keeps the coffee brewing, fills the donut trays as needed, then cleans up and puts everything away. Each time slot is about a two hour commitment, which includes attending the service if you choose. Confirmation students and families with young children are welcome with a parent.
Times: approx 8:15 - 10:15 am and approx 10:15 - 11: 45 am

Ushers &
Holiday Ushers
Confirmation (w/adult) and Up
Ushers keep church running smoothly before, during and after services. They hand out bulletins, help with the offertory and direct people for communion. We welcome women, men, high school students and Confirmation students (with a parent for the first time) for this opportunity. Have young children with you? They can help you. Join a schedule or help out as a sub or on holidays.
Times: arrive 20 minutes before the service and clean up the pews until about 10 minutes after the service.
